Because Ukraine follows the Orthodox calendar for holidays, Easter was this past Sunday. We went to church where we had to sit way in the back because it was quite full. Pastor Max invited different people up to share about what God was doing in their lives (we think) and he called Steve up. He shared Psalm 20 which has been a prominent and meaningful Psalm for us lately because it speaks about Christ and His Victory.
After service there are always cookies and tea but on Easter there will be Paska and eggs.
In the evening we went to Mayakovskaya Park where we met up with people from the Baptist church to sing worship songs. It was an absolutely beautiful evening (despite how most people are attired it was around +20 degrees) and it was fantastic to spend time praising God to celebrate His Victory!!
Galatians 2:20 says: "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."
